Genshin Impact enters it's Honkai Impact era

I think it's fine as open world, but exploration is too tedious, I don't want to grab 100 chests hidden under the ground where you need to get inside the bush and press action in order for chest to pop up. On top of prolonged dialogues with no substance, it's just waste of time.
She should've been abyss element.

streamable.com/y2ojy7
streamable.com/pt3i6q

why would you even play it lmao
that's the whole point

How would you do it?

I wanted her to be like Childe without a bad cooldown but instead she's melee Kokomi.

Ah yes, the character explicitly shown to wield the 8th element like Dainsleif is now a cryo character because Hoyo couldn't be fucking bothered to release her in sync with the story and thus couldn't reveal that element yet.
Genshin has been going to shit since Natlan, they retconned a ton of the lore and blatantly gave up on many old promises

they retconned a ton of the lore and blatantly gave up on many old promises

like?

I hate she’s just cryo. Introduce Quantum/Ether already you cowards. She literally uses Quantum in the sequence with the cosmic narwhal.

Literally the entire lore of Natlan. Also the the cataclysm was heavily implied to be some kind of Tiananmen Square event by Celestia to punish Khaenri'ah but I guess it's now just a good guys vs evil monsters war with nothing deeper about it...

You didn’t answer the question.

She looks more electro than cryo

Is she being a new element real?
I miss it when dendro dropped and everyone is busy minmaxing how the new element should be built.

nope cryo

she's cryo, there will be no new elements, it's pretty much confirmed at this point, dainsleif will be pyro

Don’t get your hopes up. The ice artifact set in Natlan is literally made for her. She’s cryo.

there will be no new elements, it's pretty much confirmed at this point,

this is such a stupid thing to claim lol
they can add new elements whenever they want if they want

skipping chef
skipping skirt

- There are 8 nations including Khaenri'ah
Wait no actually there's a pseudo 9th nation added for no reason other than padding :3
- Natlan is the nation of war with no leaders, with Pyro as the main element
Wait no actually it's a giant open air dance club where everyone is nice and there's no pyro :3
- Celestia did a genocide on Khaenri'ah
Wait no actually it's just good guys vs evil mindless monsters :3
- There's a secret element from the abyss capable of beating the gods
Wait no actually we're too lazy to do that :3

All of those retcons were made since 5.0

but I guess it's now

So did you just not pay any attention at all to the Sumeru story?
Do tell what else you think was retconned.

They can, but Skirk is on the beta server. She’s cryo despite how baffling that is with all that purple in her attacks.

yeah skirk is just cryo which I agree is lame, but it's very retarded to say they'll never add new elements

It’s not finished

you answered my question? uuh it's not enough

They virtually never change animations and if they do it's very subtle and usually a burst animation or they add more particles to effects.

Her damage numbers are pretty low though, I think she needs a buff or else she's borderline skip tier.

I do see your retarded nonsense in the post above mine now. Turns out everyone was right and you are just a fucking retard with no idea what you are talking about.

Literally the entire lore of Natlan

No they didn’t.

Also the the cataclysm was heavily implied to be some kind of Tiananmen Square event by Celestia to punish Khaenri'ah

And that’s what it was. Khaenri'ah experimented with the Abyss which was stated to be forbidden and after they went too far by releasing Abyssal monsters everywhere, it got nuked and its residents were cursed in response.

Please do explain how I am wrong about these points

maybe skirk purple ice is why childe chose an electro delusion

it's Honkai Impact era

that was Fontaine you retard

Please explain how you're right first. You dodged the question and spewed.

At least it's not on rails gameplay turn based slop ROFL!!

no you

no you

no you

wtf is going on?

He can't, he's a Hoyokek.

Nod Krai is part of Shneznaya. It’s not an extra nation.
Natlan is in a constant war with the abyss. That’s why it’s the nation of war.
Celestia made an example out of Khaenri‘ah, nothing in Natlan contradicts that. There’s many hints that the abyss isn’t actually mindlessly evil either.
We don’t know when if ever there’s gonna be a new playable element. Skirk being cryo isn’t confirmation enough to say that.
Conclusion: You just want to be mad and speedread through Natlan.

I didn’t say that and I don’t believe that.

still can't skip trials of characters I have leveled for the freebies

Ei lite

Ohnononononono Skirkbros...

So its confirmed Genshin Impact world is a huge Cave all along ?

Upside down tree inside of a firmament, yes.

Nod Krai is part of Shneznaya. It’s not an extra nation.

Then why is it taking a whole fucking patch cycle with like a billion different factions like Natlan

Natlan is in a constant war with the abyss. That’s why it’s the nation of war.

I mean that works but it sure felt like a gotcha moment by the writers to avoid making something interesting

Celestia made an example out of Khaenri‘ah, nothing in Natlan contradicts that.

It was implied that Khaenri'ah was slaughtered by Celestia themselves (probably using the archons as their weapons, thus why venti acts so suspicious when the subject is brought up)

There’s many hints that the abyss isn’t actually mindlessly evil either.

Nothing concrete, and if it's ever get revealed why the abyss is the way it is it'll be yet another cop out by the writers.

We don’t know when if ever there’s gonna be a new playable element.

Stop playing dumb. We know exactly what they were planning to do.

You just want to be mad and speedread through Natlan.

I read it all and regretted it. Natlan's story is atrocious

I think inside a black hole. celestia is the epicenter and going down into the abyss eventually leads to the event horizon

Why chinks cant be original for once

Esco's character quest.

What I expected, what I got.

I really can't be doing with thee hour long quests any more. I just can't care.
Why am I still even playing.
I'm not having fun.

Then why is it taking a whole fucking patch cycle with like a billion different factions like Natlan

Because they have too many loose threads they want to tir up because they start the final arc

You're in luck because they've been working on outphasing the open world over the past year

lol what

genshin tying up loose ends

lol

final arc

lol

You're too naive

Ignoring IP laws and being the human sweatshop equivalent of training an AI model made them as big as America, friend.

I don’t see what it matters that there’s another patch cycle, desu. They even give us shit people wanted for ages, like Varkas and more Harbingers. I fail to see how splitting Shneznaya into two patch cycles is a bad thing somehow.
I’m no fan of the visual stylings of Natlan but calling it a bait & switch thematically is retarded, I’m sorry. Every ingame source made it clear Natlan is isolationist and they don’t really know what’s going on there.
Again, nothing directly contradicts that Celestia destroyed Khaenri'ah. Point me to where it says that.
Conjecture on your part is meaningless to the trajectory the story takes in the regard of the Abyss either. The strongest hint that they are not evil is that your sibling works with them. Nothing about that changed.
Enlighten me what they were planning to do regarding another element. Mind you I am pissed that Skirk isn’t Quantum but that’s not here nor there.

They're releasing less maps per nation and the maps themselves have started to become more linear and railroaded; the open world itself is mostly just for show since you're led along a path in whatever quest is in the area
The most recently released location is a series of floating islands that you travel along in a sequence and all the usual puzzles and assorted open world rewards are condensed into small 'clusters' of puzzles that give you several treasure chests and misc. rewards at once as opposed to having them spread out across the entire area

you're a goof

Enlighten me what they were planning to do regarding another element.

picrel is from his drip marketing. Can you rub your 1.5 braincells together?

His = Dainsleif
I typed like a retard

I don’t speak Chinese so no idea what you mean.

obviously japanese text

"chinese"

Alright

He's not wrong, comparing it to Enkonomiya or Sea of bygone era, this natlan special region feels underwhelming in term of exploration.
I noticed similar trend happening in Star rail too, people want faster and easier linear way to explore.
It might be Sumeru's desert fatigue.

did you watch their nod krai stream where they admitted they fucked up and outright stated they want to tie up loose ends?

I don’t speak Japanese either. So still no idea what you mean.

believing what genshin devs are saying

lol

oh boy, this guy sent a screenshot while talking about elements and there's a line with obfuscated text, I sure wonder what it's about

why are hoyotards like this?

Based. Keep up the good work anon.

NTA but I feel Natlan being in a state of Civil War would just be a retreat of Inazuma's plotline. Them being in a never ending war with the forces of darkness is cheesy but also fresh for the overarching story and keeps things moving forward

Natlan was nice that they took it slower. Fontaine
+ Vale right after 2 desert areas completely drowned most people in content. There's a reason they stopped hangouts.
5.x was a break to get people caught up and comfy again and it worked for me.

How am I supposed to intuite that’s the line about his element? That’s also from all the way back in 1.4 or some shit.

actively playing dumb

The signature move of corporate shills

Inazuma arc

bleh, human politic need to stay away from my fantasy game.
Imagine if Liyue arc and character got switch out with inazuma, the game will be a major disaster.
People also almost shitting on Fontaine hard because it wasted their time on non-fantasy shit and it only got saved by the finale, inazuma was dog shit from start to the end, minus Enkonomiya.

I want to put my penis in Escoffier.

there's no room, mine is already in there

Are you pulling Child's master or skipping?

he says as he posts idea stolen by japgook bugmen

Ok, Thoma

I'll put in her ass then

probably pulling since i have excess fates but i don't really care

So what's the Anon Babbleerdict on Escoffee? I got her despite not knowing anything about her.

They need to fix her animation, she feels like a honkai impact character.
Mauvika attacks also floaty as hell but still got some oomph in it.

Only cryo hag (read:brick) I roll for is Euler.

Stronger than I had anticipated, I can play something that sounds retarded on paper like Mualani freeze but the buff stacking from 3 supports and off-field damage from Furina and Escoffier make up for the lost vaporizes

Why do they want to tie up loose ends right now when they still have Fatuiland and Kanrea regions to go and would be much better places to tie up the loose ends?

is the 5.6 patch good? or should I bother playing other games instead?

she's only for freeze teams right? basically 5 star charlotte?

Just a new interlude mondo quest and and new weekly boss. Playing something else.

because some loose ends have nothing to do with those places

I'm not doing the Archon quest continuation yet, but I'm liking the tsundere Ramsay.

Her face when I served her a hot glued macaron.

That's just Erina from Shokugeki no Soma

i missed fontaine

Both yes and no, she's clearly intended to be used in freeze teams but she has a scaling passive like Charlotte instead of just being an arbitrary on/off toggle like Nilou and Chevreuse
I'm going to try using her in some 2cryo2pyro teams at some point, she might lose out on her full res shred (Citlali can at least take care of some of it though) but she'll still deal a fair amount of off-field damage while helping provide cryo resonance for someone like Arle, Mavuika, Gaming or whoever else wants to crit their melts. It's obviously not going to be the absolute #1 best team but it'll definitely be 'good enough'

Fuckin brutal, mate.

How the ever-loving fuck is she more boring than fucking Childe, who is both her apprentice and a character from literally 1.1 or someshit.

You can use her in any team she just shreds res in hydro/cryo only teams.
She is comfy "do nothing" core from here moving forward. Her + Furina just automatically kill everything around you while you do nothing it's great.

Go play Expedition 33
It's not live service

Natlan won't have summer map

Natlan will have the fewest amount of expansions

The expansions Natlan go weren't even that big anyways

What's the explanation on why Natlan got shafted so hard?

Weak bait, this is entirely a story quest related area, has nothing to do with the likes of the chasm or enkonomiya. The entire new island, above this area, was the new map. They didn't have to give people a 2nd area to explore but put the effort and resources into it for visual effect for a basic story quest. On top of what you posted, they also had a 3rd map further below that. Like I said, no reason other than because they wanted to. They're literally adding a new region instead of going to the next Archon because they want to add more maps and areas to Genshin, they're expanding Mondstadt to the North at the end of this year/early next year

tsundere

blonde

blue eyes

Unf

'Weak bait'

Proceeds to post objective falsehoods

And that's without even taking into account you fell for the 'it has a pretty vista you can take screenshots of so it must be good' meme
You are not qualified to be a part of this sincere discussion

Dunno why you called me baiting, I know about that area but it still feels linear as fuck.
Maybe because of the exploration powercreep or whatever else, even Enkonomiya got multiple mini side quest.
People got mad because of Sumeru underground maze, but for me that place is what open world exploration game should be.

so a game with no legs

People like him are just in denial
The reason why areas nowadays are railroaded / more linear than they used to is because most people don't want to bother exploring (Hell they don't even really want to do Archon Quets or story quests either)

Most people don't want to play the game yet throw thousands of dollars at it.
When will someone explain the full train of thought of a gacha addict? Oh wait it can't be understood

I really liked that area, didn't expect it at all.

Considering how often I see people online just equate areas to piggybanks full of gems I'm inclined to agree, probably also something the devs picked up on since they definitely started bundling more chests together compared to older areas

maybe you should stop taking anti-shills shitposts for granted?

I missed a puzzle that actually take effort instead of just press X for awesome, don't get me wrong I loved the saurian mechanic and the great landscape but in term of exploration puzzle they take a freaking nose dived after Sumeru.

It's the same sort of shittification of the world we grew up with in MMOs.
At the start, people play the game to play the game. But after enough years go by, they just want resources for their pile and some rollercoaster ride quest now and then.
Genshin has been going for 5 years now.
That's almost at Cataclysm.

files.catbox.moe/unakt8.mp4

I hate slopkai

Dual wielding

I'm sold

Bro your Chiori?

did they ever fix the shit artifact system and unskipable cutscenes?

She is also quite nice

The first Golden Archipelago event had some nice puzzles but too many dum-dums complained that they couldn't solve them

Nope, those are only in ZZZ

shit artifact system

Not yet but there's a new endgame mode that lets you get more Artiffacts I guess

unskipable cutscenes?

That's been getting worse and worse
There's at least more gameplay segments now compared to Sumeru/Fontaine

you can sacrifice artifacts to get a resource to use to guarantee substats on an artifact but it won't guarantee if those substats get upgraded

You also only get 2 of the currency to do that each patch

but it won't guarantee if those substats get upgraded

they have to, at least twice now

That's been getting worse and worse

Nah, that trophy already moved to shart rail.
There's less yapping in genshin recent arcs now compare to previous arc.

3 actually, or 4 if you count battlepass

just lying and guessing

Why do people like you even post stuff? Can’t be just for attention

do 10 rolls on escoffee

nothing

do 10 rolls on Navia

What's even the usecase for her?
I already have Neuv and Varesa as my attackers

shotgun tits

She's a very flexible unit since most of her damage is in her skills. She works best with some combination of Mavuika, Furina, Bennett, and Xilonen but because of her flexibility she only really needs one of those and two others, sub or main dps doesn't really matter.

put her with off-fielders that she can make crystalize shards with
hit q, use off-fielders elements
switch back to navia and nuke stuff with fully charged E shots
use another geo character if you have trouble making enough shards

Reminder escoffee has her own food only she can make

Does she even have any good F2P weapons?
Don't think I really have a proper team for her

My party is ready, that 55% reduction to cyro and hydro defense is great

This is probably outdated but not really. WGS if you have it is basically her sig.
The weapon banner is definitely worth it if you wanna roll that though, the polearm is a good stat stick imo

take neuv out
her best free weapon is the melusine sword if you did that event
if not, just give her a dps claymore

She's honestly not very good unless you whale. As much as I like her design, I despise playing her when I have to (which is only ever in Imaginarium Theater)

her constellations arent' even good, she's a decent c0 unit

Why no one talking about discount Chasca?

i will not stand for this slander
she saved my ass numerous times being the only geo character i had, and not needing a whole geo team like SOME retarded oni

Meaning everyone is gay and the fans are mentally ill?

no one talked about chasca either

the new Mond twink is a 4*

LMAO, total fujo genocide.

It’s not an extra

It's annexed section that came from Natlan and we won't get the 7th region proper until next patch version

but that's the case for every gacha fandom

irrelevant
did you see how he was flirting with venti?
fujos: FUELED

The 2nd was the apex of puzzles

hydro 4*
and shielder

People still play this shit after the disaster that was Natlan? Turning the dark edgy nation into Disney, the biker slut archon, no playable Capitano, making the punch loli a fucking spear wielding NPC whose skill is running slightly faster. When WuWa exists?

it's just annoying when they had years to tell the story but instead they just spun wheels and then suddenly Retcon-Krai out of nowhere. Everyone will get over it after it releases. It feels very artificial that Retcon-Krai was never mentioned or alluded to at all before. And the only excuse they will be able to muster is "Why haven't I mentioned Nod-Krai before? Well you never asked ;)"

Turning the dark edgy nation

literal fan fiction

of course its a wuniger.

it was always Disney!!!

My favorite cope. Fuck off, the snippets of lore and the Travail video do not give anything even close to that vibe.

they're still trying even a year later lmao
it's beyond sad now

keep telling yourself that

The vibe always was mesoamerica + africa dumbass

Decide to c0 Esco but wait for skirk leak first.

Don't like her weird animation

no esco for me

Another two years for cyro archon.

welp

i can't do escofy quest, her erotic legs are too distracting

tfw I thought it's a girl until I read some comments

Draw girl, call it a boy
Which is funny because she's the most fun character in Natlan

i got a very hawaii then old american frontier vibe out of it

Silly me I forgot mesoamerica and Africa are super happy places full of pokémon and people wearing trendy clothes

Girls Frontline 2 patents uber-detailed anime style stocking fabric shaders.

enduins.com/news/sunborn-patents-unique-stocking-rendering-method-for-girls-frontline-2-exilium

Genshin implements their own almost immediately.

These lads are having the time of their life.

The only thing both I and Hoyo know about Africa is that Lion King lives there

Retcon-Krai was never mentioned or alluded to at all before

Ah, so the problem is that you're just ignorant and stupid.

outing yourself as a newfag.

Skirk is another E for aplication Q for nuke cryo dps

Damn I was hoping what leakers falsely said about a cloning mechanic to be true and yet again we get another ayaka/wriothesley sidegrade with almost same gameplay.

Natlan is isolationist and they don’t really know what’s going on there

?
Tourists come there all the time, the Natlanese dont know as much about the outside (such as not knowing about the archon war because their nation didn't have any participants), which is fine, but it's weird how you barely get any info prior as a regular tourist hot spot (despite being the most prone area to abyss flare ups)

If you're a weeb you may have already noticed that Africa = land of exotic animals in the twisted Asian mind. We think about poverty when we hear Africa, they think funny animals

Dunno how they fuck up this bad when Varesa kit feels a little bit unique, Varesa play almost like a ZZZ character with those meter bar and shit.

I need Escoffee vs Raiden pics NOW. Artists wake the fuck up!

Ah, so the problem is that you're just ignorant and stupid.

It wasn't mentioned at all until when Liben brought it up, before we started getting more news from Mav talking about Dottore or that one boss combat trial event with the kid hailing there. It wasn't in the Travali either.
We had moon lore regarding the sisters or Arle's crimson moon, but that was separate from Nod-Krai's existence.
But it could still be act 6 and when we get to the main area of Sneyzhnaya, it still will continue onwards. Who knows.

Is funny how she was supposed to be quantum element but the devs couldn't bother to make a new element

because she's the most fun character in Natlan

lmfao

fans make stuff up

it somehow becomes canon in their mind

disappointment when official release comes and they're wrong

why does this keep happening?

She's a total upgrade from Wrio and Ayaka and none of these characters play alike...

Did they address the red haired Natlanese or Vannessa's Natlanese origin in the new event or did they just straight up brush it all under the rug and are busy setting up their new OCDonutsteel area?

>fans make stuff up

You realized both genshin's and honkai's universe are connected right?
They even connected the phlogiston shit to HSR last year

speedreader...

Why do people want an 8th element when these chucklefucks struggle with handling 7 and screwing over reactions?
They've turned freeze into blue physical with the new shred kits, overload is already similar since it exists to boost Chevy's buffs on DPS characters, Anemo's niche is going away and the recent deluge of characters offer nothing new outside of Chasca bullets and Lanyan's shield. Vape/Melt just needs one good elemental applying character to completely flip the chessboard with big nukes compared to transformative reactions, etc.
And then we have the enemies themselves not doing anything, all of the abyss attacks are already elemental or pure white typeless/phys. If they were going to add an abyss element, they'd want to go back to enemies like rifthounds

The only upgrade I see is that because of her not requiring having energy there is more room for other substats otherwise she has less foolproof aplication then wriothesley because he is a catalyst and skirk has an infusion cooldown.

But she has the counter bar and shiet

And? There is no support characters that that sync with that otherwise she will use the same exact freeze teams with icecoffee as ayaka, ganyu and wriothesley with same rotations.
Of the few crumbs we knew about Natlan from early game the only thing that wasn't retconned was the gang of heroes from the tribe(Tupac and the gang) who fought during the cataclysm(debate club lore) and that's it, expect mare jivari to not have a sea of fire at this point.

Where is the speed reading?
Natlan has people coming in, but they themselves can't come out freely until act 5.

a new element would be broken and fun and cool and could bring new reactions

She does way more damage, has a bigger attack radius, and it's easier for her to be played. Wrio needs melt and Ayaka can miss her burst and they nerfed her CA range.

It would but it would just compound the current issues with the reaction system

who cares

Manga is retconned. And Muratans are FLYING HILICHURL TIER retconned.

8.0 (After Snez) will have new elements, and also alt characters with different elements (Electro Kazuha and Childe, Quantum Skirk, etc)

fucking sad to see that it really was circling the drain back to this dogshit chink franchise

glad I haven't played in a year after dragon god jesus forgave us of our sins like are you fucking joking? who wrote that garbage

Is she out this patch?
Also I couldn't get the sexy blonde girl should kill myself?

The people who bitch about elements getting no love/character getting shafted.
But nothing is stopping the devs if they wanted to add element 8 and to make sure that it's funand unique, but it's more likely for them to add more regional or unique gimmicks to characters while keeping them stuck in the element system.
But I don't get why we haven't got another character like Nilou who actively changes how the reaction works. Everyone else seems to be conditional buffs if a reaction is used. It could work for Skirk getting some abyss themed variant of a reaction

Peeking up her skirt to find she wears actual pantsu was one of the most exciting moments I've ever experienced in Genshin.
It's going to hurt not being able to get her. Stupid Jean ruining my pity.

I kind of miss when it was just a BOTW clone. Mondstat was comfy. Or however the fuck you spell it, haven't played in years

I don't know what he does.
I don't know how to build him.

I give it to you the attack radius since wriothesley is a single target magnet but cmon

Wrio needs melt

Literally he was glued to Furina like Skirk will be but in his case because of his native hp gain/loss he gets faster fanfare stacks, skirk will probably beat him by a few thousand damage no denial there but my point still stands that it's the exact same teams with the exact same rotations.

Haven't played since the desert place. Is this game still LGBT?

What's the explanation on why Natlan got shafted so hard?

Because no one cares about Natlan

Anon's how bad Skirk would be without Eskimo?
Lost 50/50 on Eskimo, currently have 70 primos so I'm guaranteed Skirk next but surely there'll be not enough primos for me to roll for Skirk next in case I lose another 50/50 on her banner.
Already have Furina.

So far she’s pretty fucking bad but she’ll probably be buffed

Like bad in general or bad without Esco?

She's essential unless you want to really cope.

Not top of the meta bad. She's not that bad but she will almost certainly be buffed unless they want a lot of people to skip.

IT'S BECAUSE SPACE IS COLD

She is pretty much a 55% damage up for cyro characters

Please refrain from using my wife in your shitpost, thank you.

Fuck me man, guess I gotta go all in with the starglitter funds for Esco and pray that I don't lose my Skirk 50/50...

Skirk wants full cryo/hydro teams, Escoffee also wants full cryo/hydro teams, so they naturally go very well together. Skirk especially wants cryo/hydro characters that can do off field damage, which Escofillet does.

Skirk/Shenhe/Yelan/Diona

Skirk/Furina/Jean/XQ

Are those teams good? I don't plan to own Escoffier at all.

nope

starglitter funds

Yeah I'm in the same situation. Been saving these since launch and haven't used them at all, except in 1.2 when Ganyu came out. I would've been able to get both of them without dipping into starglitter savings if I didn't have awful luck in Natlan.

Preparing for Nod-krai which will be nothing but expansions

are you retarded? there is nothing else to spend starglitter on

skirk on a 4* craftable is actually on par with ayaka, that's pretty pathetic

What's the explanation on why Natlan got shafted so hard?

They're just balancing out the content. 4.x was too much, 5.x was a well deserved break.

I've never needed to spend it until now, I liked the idea of them being like a savings account, that I'd only ever dip into if I really needed it. Also I just wanted number to go up.

are you retarded?

uncalled for...

so if I'm planning on skipping the chef, should I skip skirk too?

so whats behind "The Door"?

5.x was a well deserved break.

Releasing 6 hours worth of map content expansions every 3 months is not a break, it's neglect.

Space isn't cold as-such, though. Space is extreme.
Anywhere near a star and you're getting baked by massive temperatures and radiation that makes nukes tame by comparison.
But put yourself in a shadow and that's when you suddenly start freezing.

Likewise if you produce any heat of your own, then good luck, you're getting fucked by it as there's nowhere for the hear to dissipate. Hence the need for massive cooling systems on everything even a tiny bit bigger, most famously the space radiators of the ISS.

skip them if you don't want them

people saying working needs melt

I just been using him with hydro characters fine

Man meta faggoting is so damn dumb in genshin when I see people beating stuff with fucking amber

It was a nice break for me to catch up on previous areas. I was getting totally bogged down but now I'm comfy. I'll be all caught up for Nod Krai which is nice.

I wanted Skirk but if she's gonna do shit damage without the chef then maybe I should skip her

She wants hydro and cyro characters so if you don’t have supports for that then don’t pull for her. She lives off cyro reactions from what seen so you need some that passively make them

I have C0 furina, C0 yelan and C0R1 citlali

Coffee:

healer

only shredder for Skirk teams

excellent off-field damage

Without her Skirk teams are absolutely super gimped.

You could use this team but you'll struggle with fanfare and you'll always be at low HP kind of thing. You lose out on Coffee's damage too, Citlali doesn't compete there.

How do I get (you)s?

Devs at Sumeru's launch: Dendro will be the final element

Players several years after: Damn where's the next element

how the fuck does escargot charged E works? you hit it until if feels the meter and press E again?

You will probably be fine then , two hydro and two cyro. The chef girl is just so damn good with furina because she passively heals forever

you just hold it once then beat it up

Hold E to place it and then hit it with elemental attacks, it'll keep spewing out food like 10(?) times

hmm... I guess I'm gonna have to think about it more

I just be myself. I've gotten so many yous

have another one friendo as compensation for narrowly missing that quads

Coffee is probably just straight up better than Skirk for your account, I'd just roll her and then think about skipping Skirk lol. That's what I did but maybe my account is different than yours, or rather it probably is.

quads

it was a quints tho

let's check it, shall we?

Plus she will probably be fine be bis for the cyro archon so may aswell get her now

I'm practically low on rolls after 5.5
I got xilonen (that was probably a mistake) and now I only have 20 pulls
I still have sumero and the whole desert to explore but I don't know how many pulls I'm gonna get from those

See anons? It's just that easy. I just be'd myself and everyone is talking about me.

Well I doubt that. I think the cryo archon will be melting.

Xilonen is good, that wasn't a mistake. Just don't get stressed about Skirk and the freeze meta, it won't last long.

Yeah I dipped into SG once or twice before when I got unlucky with the coinflip, have like 70 rolls saved there so I guess that'd be my Eskimo fund.
Hopefully I won't have to go all the way to hard pity but I don't think I ever got a character before like 60 rolls.

Putting stats like time and flavors used on this baby-tier minigame was unnecessary. The camera work in this whole quest felt different in a good way though, like they were trying to be more cinematographic.

IWTL's Coffee video wasn't good, he didn't showcase the afk gaming potential well enough.

People think everything is melting when dealing with cyro

What would be the best walk & win team?
Escoffee Furina Mavuika Raiden?

The camera was more interesting but it's weird how they take such small baby steps to improve at all. Liyue and Mondstadt was fixed shots until they learned how to pan the camera and do close-ups in Inazuma. Sumeru has those awkward scene transitions and once Natlan came they realized they could show different places from where the characters were.
Mihoyo's story direction follows the same path of a 10 year old learning to use Photoshop for the first time. It's strange they don't use their actual cutscene team for quests.

I wish I could be like you...

Absolutely pulling. Already got Escoffier in 9 rolls just from logging in on the first day last night. Now I can use the rest of the rolls from this version and next version on Skirk and her weapon.

My favorite so far is Coffee, Mavuika, Xilonen, and Shenhe. I actually like Shenhe now.

haven't done any world quests since 4.2, yes half of my map is unexplored because of this
sometimes i wonder why i keep logging in

dragon god jesus forgave us of our sins

wet stinky oceanid hands wrote this post

wait... you skipped chenyu vale comfiness ?

AHHH FUCK just need a good flower snd my crit will be 70+

pls buy me chef girl

Mine is fine. I think 125% is enough ER outside of freeze and especially inside of it. Need more cdmg though.

Nigger phlogiston is literally liquid pyro and its everywhere. Or are you another one of those landwhales screeching that the only pyro char was a sexy bike rider they could never relate to?

skirk should have been quantum

i walked in, got locked into a cutscene, never went back again

Link to the picture please

It really was so much better when you could wander and explore without being interrupted by insipid bullshit.

Look at this fucking nerd

Make exploration content

People accuse you of locking pulls behind exploration and nobody does it

Reduce the amount of exploration and make it more interactive

People accuse you of paywalling exploration while still not doing it

Add even more rewards to exploration

People accuse you of predatory FOMO and once again nobody does it

They tried reducing it, improving it, and finally bribing the players. People still refuse to do it and cry that in other games they just get the pulls from a login event. So Hoyo will be reducing exploration. The same thing happened with hangouts and story quest which is also why they aren't making them for Nod Krai.

I thought you guys were just shilling but even my shitty f2p unbuild coffee feels good.

Doesn’t she want a attack goblet?

I already can't remember what happened. Something about a plate?

If you want her to heal more I guess?

The new quest was nice, ties up two old stories at the same time. Hopefully Nod Krai will be more like this

She will most likely be paired with Furina who boosts healing too, so I doubt it's required.

Quest Mond has festive decorations

normal Mond doesn't

This was the shortest flipping holiday so far...

Agreed, I was pleasantly surprised by how much they managed to cram into it. Was nice to see the entire Mondstadt cast as well, even if most of them only had optional cameos during the battle

This is what happens when they give extra mats for story quests. Players rush through so they can build their new character and don't even remember what the story was about.

Was there a new weekly boss or is that next patch?

There was a two stage boss, not sure if it's actually replayable though or if it's just a one off story boss

There is one, yes

lol people were rushing through even before they incentivized finishing quests.
The stories are always so uncomfortably boring.

Is it one of those you have to lose deals? That determines whether I do it or not.

They even connected the phlogiston shit to HSR last year

How so?

It becomes a weekly boss once you've finished the quest

No, you finish the first stage and move on to the next one

People have been wanting a skip button since 1.0, gacha players just want to roll and see numbers go up, not actually play a game.

Any EU whales or metagamechads with free friend slots willing to share a friend code? Wanna grab some theater rewards but I'm not a metagamer so my roster ain't really built for "endgame" shit.

Varka's VA being Gintoki just convinced me to pull for him, but I know there's no way they're going to make him the huge bearded guy everybody always assumed. The line alluding to the fact he's not that old was proof of it.

EU

gay town is that way!

I hope you're not conflating sitting idly by while quest characters drone on with exploring and having fun.
Because exploring the world is actually "playing the game".

I used to pay attention to the story somewhat before Sumeru.
After that curry text overload my brain was fried and I stopped caring about the story.
Even Natlan right now, the volcano stuff like some dragons did something something whatever who what etc.

This is a material of HSR
If the description seems wonky, all you need to know there is a psycho scientist that goes around killing other scientist that dare to research forbidden/unknown stuff.

Light.

Wtf was there always a Natlan NPC in Fontaine city?

The impact of the non sexual generation advanced phone technology. Very creative title, I really believe none of my peers have sex just because they write it over and over. I guess it’s something.

Bro nobody has sex, ask god to help you find a wet woman

just want to roll and see numbers go up, not actually play a game

People want a way to skip cutscenes BECAUSE they want to actually play a game and not be forced to watch hours of terribly written dialogue. If so many people skip your story because they're bored, then you have failed as a writer and developer.

A couple of Natlan NPCs appear in the other regions' cities once you've done the Natlan story

just use the co-op player finder and add a few whales

The african american region
After the end of natlan story all the natlan natives basically start immigrating to other countries to the point you can see brown people everywhere after the main character fix their nation

This entire region feels like a shitpost of china to america

Something to keep a look out for now. That's cool. Hopefully we'll see the playable characters outside Natlan too.

noooooo liben mentioned retcon-krai in 5.1

fuck off you dumb retard. my entire point is that it's last minute and your retort is that it's last minute.

you WILL watch the cutscenes

add porn in them and i will

cryo toon

2025

What the fuck is the point exactly

In this patch they changed some of the idle voicelines for a handful of the Mondstadt NPCs, or at least they've done so in the ENG dub, no clue if they've done it in the others languages as well
I can't tell if it's something they just randomly re-recorded for no real reason or if it's meant to be a nod to the 5.6 archon quest. Wish I'd known about this before the patch so I could go and check if it changes after you complete the AQ

she's been saying that forever

ENG dub

why would you do this to yourself

You misunderstand, the actual audio for the spoken line has been changed
She's not the only NPC either

thought you guys wanted cryo reactions to be more powerful

i playued genshin one time it was super easy so i unplayed it
felt like a korean mmorpg type deal where id be told

bro just play 200 hours to reach the super ultra mega end game then it'll have any challenge at all

I’m happy they don’t add a skip button, each day I see retards with no blue check mark saying the dumbest shit story wise

This grandma owes me sex.

If I wanted Honkai shit I'd play Honkai

I give this bait a 2

where do you think we are.png

Still not powerful enough. I already have one useless cryo buffer. Cryo needs a game breaking character at this point, everyone else has one

You're playing Honkai shit

I've heard alot of the NPCs are voiced for the quest, perhaps the lines were rerecorded for consistency with whatever new VA they got for them.
(Natlan had this done too, NPC VAs are significantly easier to recast when they don't want to work)

theyre adding hardcore co op stuff next update

About time, now I can show off my characters

Forgot to say it’s in 5.7

It's definitely possible, I just thought it was a peculiar change since most of them have been around for five years.

I just realized Skirk's cooldown only starts when you exist dmg mode.
I'm back to skipping.

I'm kinda giggling at the name 'Mondstadt' in hindsight

i'm f2p but you can try with mine i guess

Very nice Wrio bro.

some /gig/gers are absolute obese whales, check the friend list and add a few ones

unless they want a lot of people to skip.

They had a whole patch where the only new character was Yumemizuki, they seem to be fine with people skipping.
Thats the only conclusion I could possibly draw from that.

it aint bait, the game is piss easy

holy fuck this NPC really uses blue checkmarks as any kind of waypoint for meaningful comments
terrifying

so this bitch can just make infinite food out of thin air? what's the point of cooking then?

Furina also boosts damage%, so cryo damage is somewhat less useful.

You both are homosexuals.

thanks, I'll add/check

why c2?

you could already do a pokemon hyperbloom team using Nahida, Raiden, and Furina. the summons do all of the work once you use your skills.

of course this requires raiden to be built with EM

What does entering its honkai era mean?

whats going on at mihoyo? Why are both ZZZ and genshin getting shitty-hsr looking characters? Is this market research or just creative bankrupcy

Character design wise she looks Honkai Imactish

they're going to yuribait harder than ever

It makes his burst hit even harder, and I’ve always thought the animation for it was really cool.

Murata was ONE of the pyro archons, and is the origin of an EXILED tribe of gingers. I don't get what's so hard to understand.

Bros... I think I may stick Esoffier in my Chasca team to raise her friendship.
I just CANNOT sand Ayaka's gameplay.
Come home soon Skirk!

what the FUCK is a honkai??

always has been.

It means sci-fi Genshin

It's what the AI tells them to do I guess.

looks like she only makes buff items that are entirely useless to any content that matters since your not allowed to use food buffs in Abyss or IT where it could have been sorta useful, of course if it was allowed i'm sure the content would just be made even harder with the assumption you are always using food.

kinda like how IT and Abyss usually do assassination matchups to try and shill the newest characters, the cyro shilling is a bit ass for sure but at least it isn't Geo.

bro, your cocomilk?

chasca esco furina mavuika sounds pretty comfy

your not allowed to use food buffs in Abyss or IT where it could have been sorta useful

zzz follows the same stupid rule
it's like they want to help actually retarded players but still keep the endgame fights hard so other players can feel the need to pull

yep so any food i make never gets used unless i'm wanting to do screenshots, at least the events let you use food sometimes.

at least in genshin there are some strong enemies in overworld like bosses and legends that you could use food buffs on but in zzz there's nothing outside of shiyu, assault and tower that demand tryharding

Even CLUNKIER

This sex goblin owes me sex.

I wish it was, and my wish is fullfilled

i's like the abyss but turns you into a zombie

Is that really a Genshin character?
The character design really is unrecognizable nowadays. I guess the old artists left the company.

You couldn't satisfy her

Nothing was retconned, maybe they retconned your head canon based on crumbs

Skirk was clearly cryo since that fight

Is tit appropriate attire for a chief to have her armpits out?

War quest in Natlan was kino, nod krai its going to exist exactly to tell those stories you want to know

Smell is an important aspect of a dish after all.

JESUS CHRIST, MY TAPES

You saw a pic five years ago

The secret ingredient

Why am I having muscle spasms in my thumb?

too much caffeine

escoffier/furina teams are pretty annoying on the new boss considering they just target randomly when you actually want to focus fire. Its intended to be a freeze boss but I doubt im bringing them back next week.

Chasca is great for him since he's up in the air a lot and you just auto-target that shit

they just target randomly

Was there anything to target there other than the boss?
I had not noticed, the robot just fucking died once I pressed my Ayaka's burst.

The combat is fucking garbage and the story is lame. The only reason to touch this game is because it's "BotW, but more vibrant, and with hot chicks."

in the second half theres two bosses and they revive the other if they aren't killed at the same time.

We are talking Ecoffier's boss right?

no the new weekly boss in mondo

they revive the other if they aren't killed at the same time.

Why do games always insist on this bullshit?
It is never fun.

cool

remember all the quests I need to do

all the dialogue I can't fast-forward or skip

nevermind.

is Ifa any good?

I really should get back into this game but farming bosses to level up skills is so cancer I drop the game every time I try
That and artifact farming is garbage

Just had sex with Ganyu in a bush

bruh... that was a regular goat

Better than Mizuki since he works with Yelan.

65K without escoffier

Holy skip

oh so he's USELESS to me, got it

budget chasca with normal attacks instead of charged shots

I just use my Mavuika team to kill it in like 20 seconds or less

Nod Krai is there to stretch out Genshin so they can make up for the failure of ZZZ

why are you obsessed with games you dislike? that's not what a healthy sane person would do

Are you rolling for him?

RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE
GO GO

Well, not many people are actively looking for a Sucrose sidegrade anyway.

i always read honkai as HonkAI

DPS

Is just a glorified infuse with high numbers

Doesn't even rely on reactions or have a fancy combo

I don't pay for numbers, I pay for gameplay.

I'm currently using a party of Furina, Escoffier, Citlali and Shenhe. I was initially happy about finally having a reason to use Shenhe, but it feels like she's not making much of an impact. I guess I'll have to switch her out with Yelan instead, which is a shame.

What's the point of Citlali there?

she will probably be more useful when you coffee will get stronger since i doubt you have her built yet

Better question is, where is your on field carry?

the surviving one uses up their HP to do the revive, and in one run I saw the queen do it but after killing the queen the king didn't do anything so either there was a cooldown to it or its a once per fight thing or the king just cant do it at all

I find that Furina and Escoffier do a lot of damage together just passively, so I wanted to create a meme team of just passives. But for stuff like the Abyss, I'll probably just use Neuvillette or something.

I found that Escoffier's healing isn't enough to keep the party healthy with Furina's skill active, meaning everyone is in a constant state of being one or two hits away from death. I wanted a little bit of a safety net, even though her shield is trash.

Fuck you I asked about Citlali because I wanted to know if she helps in freeze teams.
"better question"... you narcissistic fuckwad.

You've been pressing the advance button to much to make the dialogue go faster

Post your uid I'll add you

She does provide Hydro shred, but it's useless because Escoffier provides all your shred needs on her own.

Coffee has full-blown lingerie and they're on display

How are the fags who scream about censorship gonna complain about this one?

Ok, but you do know that you need someone to actually deal the damage to kill things right?

okay i double checked the king can revive the queen

WHERE ARE THE TITS???

Just failed my Coffee 50/50. Is she needed for a good Skirk team?

It is not a bikini, therefore bad

WHY CAN'T I SEE HER VAGINA!?

She literally uses abyss powers in Fontaine when shes introduced, how she suddenly switched from quantum to another element when she becomes playable?

Like I said, I'll use Neuvillette in the Abyss.

I didn't care for her at all until I saw that. Now I'm pining and scraping for her.
Probably going to drop $30 by banner's end.

Short answer, yes.
Long answer, yes.

Now go back & give us the Citlali thong leotard we damn well deserve.

Time to throw 100 more bucks to the game

I've never resented the lack of acquaint fates more than now. I've been saving acquaint fates to use on the standard banner in preparation of this update and I didn't get a single copy of Iansan. She's still stuck at C0. I know it was a long shot, but it's only going to get even tougher to get copies of her once Ifa gets tossed in next month.

I got covfefe in 30 pulls but I'm rolling on her spork and Navia's ax and all I got was a third copy of Xiao's spear while spending $200.
FUCK

bait
no one is stupid enough to buy primos unless they're rich or a cc
especially for fucking weapons

I usually drop $200-300 per patch to get every character and weapons for characters I like.

Shit. I should have waited to do the Imaginarium. Escoffier is available for this round. I might have done better with her around. But I don't really want to do it again.

got her the very first pull after spending again

mfw i could've just waited and saved the 100 bucks

Oh well, at least I'm not poor

k play starrail instead then

Her weapon can just be skipped, right?

Is Escoffier good for you?

Hey in that case how's about, uh, throwing some blessings my way?

I bless your pulls, anon

Paimon sees a fat guy

"You don't look so good..."

What did she mean by this?

Spend the 40 or so rolls I have

Get to 30/40 and see gold light

Mona

Goddamn it but at least she's hot

Roll the last 10 pulls

Escoffier

Upgrade her and get a regular banner roll

Do a single pull on that

Jade winged spear

It's that easy. Why don't more people just do that?

Nod-krai dendro hag WHEN

clorinde and liney are still the only two characters that mark fontaine resources on the map

Fuck off mihoyo, i'm not pulling for a hag or a shota

third 50/50 lost as a f2p

Uhhh wasn't there supposed to be some boost after you lost two flips?

I swear coomers are the dumbest people ever, know china is HARD on cutting that stuff out but they slip some in and niggers just blasting it everywhere

Roll for lyney

never, i only like girls (female) assholes

I saw her animations and liked her.
I've started playing again after quite a while, would she be a good addition to my account?
If yes do I need Escoffier for her?

It's not homo if he dresses up as his sister

know

Not making yourself look any smarter there.
The surface level and poorly thought out comment doesn't help either.

As long as he moans like a girl, dresses like a girl, and acts like a girl

nice try faggot, but his sister's ass is the only one i'd fuck
speaking of which, lynette has pretty much no decent lewds

I've started playing again after quite a while, would she be a good addition to my account?

Yes (you have Furina)

If yes do I need Escoffier for her?

Not necessary but she's nice to have

If yes do I need Escoffier for her?

lmao she does worse damage than alhaitham without her

Stop being a double nigger, you obtuse faggot

capitano doko....

Yes, you just failed the 75/25 or whatever so your next two 5* are guaranteed.

Is there a skip button yet?

your next two

So just one flip after my guaranteed.
Cheap bastards.

I mean at long as it doesn’t happen to you what happened to me. I ended up with Xilonen c3 because they both came in the same 10 pull when I was going for her c2. Waste of my second guarantee.

So what was the "right" way to get to the new island? I just walked there with Furina, but surely this wasn't the intended route. Perhaps I was supposed to glide down via the sky islands?

I see...

Lmao I did the same cuz I thought one of the robo dragons would take you but it only went to the other island.

grab the shark things, there are orbs all the way across the ocean leading to it so you can dash the whole way.

what new island

it is a small island with a new miniboss, it doesn't have anything else there, bottom left of natlan.

Kaeya ice bridging.

random posts deleted

well known ban evading nigger spammer is still up

You just cannot make this shit up.
Do your fucking job, janny NIGGER

C1 Escoffier or R1?

From what I can see, C1 is probably more valuable if you're gonna go for one or the other.

R1

mualani, duh

they retconned a ton of the lore and blatantly gave up on many old promises

It's been neverending retcons since it stopped being a Honkai spin-off during beta. They did this with their older gachas too. Why the fuck wouuld you retards expect better from mihoyo?

Do you job, janny NIGGER
